Passage 1

College Life

American college and university students who live away from their families/ are generally housed in dormitories at least for their first year. / Men and women often live in the same building, / though they may live on separate floors. /

Colleges and universities often have many clubs that students can join. / These include political, religious and service clubs, / as well as groups for activities like singing, dancing, cooking, even leaning how to play magic. / Schools may also have internal sports clubs. / These are for students who do not play for a school team / but want organized sports with other students. / And schools will often recognize a new club or activity if enough students are interested. /

Passage 16

Time

If you can read a clock, you can know the time of day. / But no one knows what time itself is. / For all our success in measuring the smallest parts of time, / time remains one of the great mysteries of the universe. /

One way to think about time is to imagine a world without time. / There could be no movement, / because time and movement cannot be separated. / A world without time could exist only as long as there were no changes, / for time and change are linked. / We know that time has passed when something changes. /

In the real world with time, however, changes never stop. /Some changes happen only once in a while, like an eclipse of the moon. / Others happen repeatedly, like the rising and setting of the sun. / Humans always have noted natural events that repeat themselves. / When people began

to count such events, they began to measure time. /

eclipse（日，月）食rising and setting of the sun日出和日落

A patent gives both inventors and investors time to develop and market a product. / Patents also provide a way to share and spread technical information. /

Suppose you have an idea for an invention. / How do you get a patent to protect your rights? / The first step is to record your idea on paper. / You must be sure no one else has invented a device just like yours. / So you must examine the descriptions of similar devices that already have patents. / This can be a big job and take a long time. / Many inventors pay patent lawyers to do this job. / patent 专利up to 到达……之多

Every day, people walk, run or ride bicycles along the paths in Central Park. / Others walk their dogs, play baseball, / row a boat on the lake or eat a meal on the grass. / Bird-watchers can observe more than 200 kinds of birds in the park. / Many people also use the park for special events. / For example, some people choose one of the beautiful natural areas in the park / as the perfect place to get married. /

Passage l9

Yard Sales

People simply collect some things they no longer want / and put them in the yard outside their home. / They might also place handmade signs on nearby streets to direct people to the sale. / Yard sales are a good way for people without much money / to find things for their family. / But even people with a lot of money like to look around. / Professional dealers might also go to yard sales. / If they find something valuable at a low price, they can re-sell it for more. / Still other people go to yard sales because they enjoy the hunt. / They like to find beautiful or unusual things / that are being sold for less than the value. / For example, they may find a piece of old furniture / that is worth a lot of money after it is repaired. /

Passage 20

Pressing Oil from Seeds

Oil is separated from seeds by using pressure. / A machine called a press is often used. / The first step in pressing the oil from seeds is to crush the seeds between two stones./ A cloth container or bag is filled with the crushed seeds. / Then the bag is hung up. / Some of the oil will flow out of the bag and can be collected. / But some oil will remain in the crushed seeds inside the bag. / The easiest way to get the rest of the oil out / is to place heavy rocks on the crushed material. / Another method is to place several cloth bags on top of each other in a box, / Then a long wooden stick is used to slowly push a heavy cover down on the bags' / Great pressure is produced in this way. / Much greater pressure can be produced by using a machine. / The greater the pressure, / the more oil will be produced. /

Passage 21

University Days

British universities start in September or October. / Courses normally last 3 years, / but some, such as languages, engineering or medicine, can take much longer to complete. / Students usually go to university in a different town, / so they need to get used to living alone, paying bills and washing their own clothes! / For many, this is a difficult time, but everyone soon becomes used to it! /

Universities in Britain used to be free, / but many students now have to pay for part of their course. / Similarly, students used to receive a grant from the government. / Nowadays, they have to apply for student loans or take part-time jobs. / Either way, it can be difficult and many students

have money problems. /

University life is not just about studying, however. / Many students take part in drama productions or play music. / Others, of course, take part in a wide range of sports, / such as football, rugby and cricket. /

When students begin the university, they must take classes in many subjects. / These are the required courses. / English and math are usually required courses, / and often a history and a

science course are required too. / Students will study mostly required courses during their first year. / Later, they will specialize, and take courses in one subject. /

Music in British Schools

Passage 25

Summer School and Online Classes

In the United States, summer school used to be seen mainly as a place / for high school students to repeat classes they failed. / But summer programs have expanded. / Students often go to summer school / so they can ease their class load during the school year. / Or it might give them more freedom / to choose the classes they want during the regular term. /

Summer school students do the same amount of work / as if they took the class during the school year. / But they do it in just one to two months. /

Another choice for many students is to take classes online. / However, some online classes require students to come to a classroom to take tests. / Students may also have to take part in group discussions with the teacher online. / And there may be a required number of hours to spend logged on each day. / Yet there may also be freedom to do the work anytime, day or night. / summer program暑假课程ease the class load 减轻学业负担

American Movies

American Movies do not attempt to show the lives of all the people of the United States. / Many movies contain some truth. / But even a movie that deals with true subjects / represents the ideas of the person who wrote it, / the people who acted in it and the person who directed it. / Over the years, some Americans have tried to ban some kinds of movies. / These include movies that are violent or show people having sexual relations. / People have taken legal action to stop such movies. / But court decisions have said that the right to make any kind of movie / is protected by the part of the United States Constitution / that guarantees freedom of speech. / In the United States, people have the right / to produce a bad movie or write a bad book. / People who make movies try to provide entertainment and excitement. / However, entertainment are excitement often have nothing to do with the real world. /

Passage 28

Theatre

In many parts of the world, "going to the theatre" is seen as an activity / which only a very

few people do. /

"Theatre" is not often seen as being a pastime that many ordinary people do. / Ordinary people watch TV, or go to the cinema, / or go out to eat with friends. / The theatre is for rich, upper-class intellectuals. /

Like a lot of obvious remarks, there is some truth in this. / Theatre tickets are quite expensive. /They cost more than cinema tickets. / Theatres which show new plays are usually only in big cities. /

However, even though this is true, / there are a lot of theatre companies who are challenging this idea. / And the way they are challenging this idea is by working with schools. / In the UK, many theatre companies now have an "educational department". / They go into schools and help students to understand and e4ioy the plays they do. /

Passage 29

Guitar

Probably no other musical instrument is as popular around the world as the guitar. / Musicians use the guitar for almost every kind of music. / Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar. / The traditional Spanish folk music could not exist without a guitar. / The sound of American blues music would not be the same / without the sad cry of the guitar. / And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument. /

Music experts do not agree about where the guitar first was played. / Most agree it is ancient. /Some experts say an instrument very much like a guitar / was played in Egypt more than 1,000 years ago. / Some other experts say that the ancestor of the modem guitar was brought to Spain / from the ancient Iran sometime in the 12th century. / The guitar continued to develop in Spain. / In the 1700s it became similar to the instrument we know today. /

Passage 30

American's Leisure Activities

Leisure activities include things like watching television, seeing friends or exercising. / Both men and women reported that they spent about half their leisure time watching television. / Visiting friends and attending social events / was the next most common leisure activity for both sexes. /

The average adult spends almost two hours a day on household activities / like cooking, cleaning and paying bills. /

Women spend more time on child care and housework than men do / even when the women are employed. / Men, however, spend more time at work. / Men also spend more time on leisure activities and sports. / They average five hours twenty minutes a day, half an hour more than women. /

Older Americans spent more of their leisure time watching TV and reading than younger people. / Younger people reported spending more time with friends, / using the computer and playing sports./ In all, nineteen percent of men and sixteen percent of women played sports on any given day. /

英语专业四级听写训练54：Cars in the Future As big cars cause many problems,such as pollution, shortage of parking space,crowded traffic,scientists are now trying to design some small cars that may some day replace today’s big automobiles.If more people begin to drive such cars in the future,there will be less air pollution. There will also be more space for parking cars in cities,and the streets will be less crowded.Three such cars can fit in the space that is now needed for one car of the usual size. The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive.Driving will be safer as these cars can only go 60 kilometers per hour. The cars of the future will be fine for driving around the city.However, they will not be suitable for long trips,because these cars by petrol can only go 450 kilometers before needing to stop for refueling 英语专业四级听写训练53：Dining Custom in the USA Dining Custom in the USA Americans, like many people elsewhere in the world, like to invite friends to their homes for an evening of food,drink and conversation. Formal dinners in fine homes and hotels in the US are much the same as formal dinners anywhere in the world. But as most people in the US have no servants,their dinner parties at home tend to be informal. Guests may sit down at a table,or as many new small homes have no separate dining room or very small dining space. Guests can also serve themselves and eat in the living room, holding their plates or trays on their knees. A more enjoyable form of entertainment is the picnic. Americans are great picnickers and almost every family has a picnic basket. Summer invitations are often for a picnic at a park or in the open countryside, and less hamburgers or hot dogs are cooked over a fire. Picnic food is usually cold.

英语专业四级听写50篇文本（Oct. 22, 2011） Passage 1 Professor Bumble Professor Bumble is not only absent-minded but short-sighted as well. His mind is always busy with learned thoughts and he seldom notices what is going on around him. On a fine day recently, he went for a walk in the countryside. But as always, he read the book as he walked. He hadn't gone far when he ran into a large cow and fell down. He had lost his spectacles in the fall, and he thought he had stumbled over a fat lady. "I beg your pardon, madam," he said politely before searching for his glasses. As soon as he had put the glasses on，he realized his mistake. Soon he was concentrating on his book again and paying no attention to anything else. He had scarcely been walking for five minutes when he fell over again, losing both his book and his glasses. This time he became very angry. Seizing his umbrellas, he struck the "cow" in anger. Then, after finding his glasses, he realized with horror that he had made a second mistake. A large fat woman was running away from him in terror. （187 words） Passage 2 Teamwork Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone. Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience. What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone's ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and

101.Alcohol on Campus In the United States, the legal age to drink alcohol is 21. Americans debate whether it should be lowered, or whether young drinkers would only drink more. In parts of Europe, the legal drinking age for beer, and sometimes hard liquor, is 16. Yet France may raise the age limit for beer and wine sales to 18, the same as for hard liquor there. Rules on alcohol differ from college to college in the United States. Many schools require all first-year students to take an alcohol prevention and education program. Some have a "zero tolerance" policy where alcohol is banned from all buildings. Parents are informed of violations and students may be suspended. Campus police and local police report underage drinking violations to administrators. The university judicial committee decides punishment on a case by case basis. For example, the committee might suspend or expel a student. It might require an alcohol education program. 102.The F.B.I. The F.B.I. is the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

But it says its two most important jobs now are to prevent terrorism
